This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the God Locus of Health Control scale, a measure of the extent to which an individual believes God has control over one's health, among a sample of churchgoing Latinas ( = 398). Confirmatory factor analysis showed support for a one-factor structure and internal consistency reliability, as measured by Cronbach's coefficient alpha, was good. Evidence for convergent validity was demonstrated by significant correlations in the expected magnitudes and directions with two measures of perceived religious involvement in health. These results suggest that the God Locus of Health Control scale can be used to examine the extent to which God is perceived to control an individual's health among Latinas.
本研究在398名常去教堂的拉丁裔女性样本中,评估了“上帝健康控制源量表”西班牙语版本的心理测量特性,该量表用于衡量个体认为上帝对其健康具有控制作用的程度。验证性因素分析支持单因素结构,且通过克朗巴赫系数α衡量的内部一致性信度良好。通过与宗教在健康方面的参与度的两项测量指标在预期大小和方向上的显著相关性,证明了收敛效度。这些结果表明,“上帝健康控制源量表”可用于检验拉丁裔女性中上帝被认为对个体健康具有控制作用的程度。
